In Stellaris there is a way to fix it. Make pi 3, no Entropy, etc.

That story ends with "and the poor parents were crying"

Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

Look I get it. The planet is dying, income inequality, it seems everything is unfair and going to shit. People yearn at an opportunity to help make things better. But yelling for simple solutions is the opposite of helpful. Because there are no simple solutions.

Saying to "just open source it" does not make sense.

What do you do about:

• proprietary codecs
• proprietary software that just does not exist as open source
• the fact you need a copy of the game engine to actually build the game from sources
• assets that have been bought on asset stores. Do the people who make those for a living not have a right to continue to make a living?

Making single player games without always online DRM: yes totally doable

Running game servers of online games forever: not really doable, as soon as all the libraries etc. they depend on are unsupported they will shut down one way or another. You need staff basically forever. Not even mentioning the maintenance headache that every legacy system always turns into.

Letting people run their own dedicated servers: sometimes doable, depends on the game though. Some games do not have "a server" but a whole infrastructure of stuff, look at foxhole. Some "servers" are a house of cards barely held together by duct tape.

This initiative all comes down to the definition of "reasonable". What is reasonable, actually? Running an infrastructure at a loss until bankruptcy? Or just keeping it online until it starts making a loss.

There is a reason it's included though. Stuff like fmod, bink video etc. does complicated things that you otherwise need to implement yourself.

Peoples opinions are very much shaped by social pressure.

Good info, but I guess I just upgrade my way to 2604

I will always have to check protondb.

24.04 doesn't have 6.14: https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_6.14#NT_synchronization_primitive_driver_for_faster_games

Cool I will try it thanks.

A brain teaser about visiting all islands connected by bridges without crossing the same bridge twice is now the basis of all internet routing. (Graph theory)

Me: I need an AC unit

Mitsubishi: sure!

Me: I would also like an orbital launch system, a forklift, a cruise ship, a main battle tank, an air superiority fighter and a nuclear power plant

Mitsubishi: ur not gonna believe this..

I bet they are saving the NHS multiple times that amount due to having an enforced consistent sleep rhythm and going for walks twice a day.

If you had two infrared drones you could have started a rescue mission with the second one.

Do you realize we could both look at a red surface, both call it "red", but for me it may look like blue looks to you? We would never know, because we grew up pointing at something and calling it red.

You are calling it "malformed perception", but thats exactly my point: ALL perception is malformed. Humans are not capable of perceiving objective reality and the belief that we can is an issue at the root of many of societies problems.

No this is exactly incorrect. We do NOT perceive objective reality. All perception is subjective, and then goes through a further filter of interpretation. If someone says something is blue, there is no guarantee they perceive it the same as someone else. On top of societal pressure itself being able to change perception.

This is why in every scientific endeavor we try to take humans out of its as much as possible.

ITT: people telling other people they're trolling rather than accepting that humans can perceive reality differently, and the own perception is never objective.

I mean that's pretty easy to build yourself. You can write a super simple web app and on get it displays a message then deletes it from database.
